Chiral molecule formation in interstellar ice analogs: alpha-aminoethanol NH 2 CH(CH 3 )OH
Aims. Aminoalcohol molecules such as alpha-aminoethanol NH2CH(CH3)OH may be aminoacid precursors. We attempt to characterize and detect this kind of molecules which is important to establish a possible link between interstellar molecules and life as we know it on Earth. Methods. We use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to study the formation of alphaaminoethan...
متن کاملDeuterated molecular hydrogen in the Galactic ISM New observations along seven translucent sightlines
We present column density measurements of the HD molecule in the interstellar gas toward 17 Galactic stars. The values for the seven most heavily reddened sightlines, with E(B − V) = 0.38–0.72, are derived from observations with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). The other ten values are from a reanalysis of spectra obtained with Copernicus. In all cases, high-resolution ground-...
متن کاملMagellanic-cloud-type Interstellar Dust along Low Density Sightlines in the Galaxy
We have studied the UV extinction properties along 30 Galactic sightlines using data from the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) archive that have never been previously examined. These distant (d > 1 kpc) sightlines were selected to investigate the distribution and physical conditions of gas located in low density regions of the Galactic disk and halo. The average densities along these si...
متن کاملThe Influence of Stellar Wind Variability on Measurements of Interstellar O Vi along Sightlines to Early-type Stars
A primary goal of the FUSE mission is to understand the origin of the O VI ion in the interstellar medium of the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. Along sightlines to OB-type stars, these interstellar components are usually blended with O VI stellar wind profiles, which frequently vary in shape. In order to assess the effects of this time-dependent blending on measurements of the interstellar O...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of the Ratio of Carbon Monoxide to Molecular Hydrogen in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
We have used archival far-ultraviolet spectra from observations made by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE ) to determine the column densities and rotational excitation temperatures for carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen, respectively, along the lines of sight to 23 Galactic O and B stars. The si...
